Christmas 2017

We had a fabulous Christmas!

We started it off with Grandma and Grandpa Liston's

Christmas Bingo Party

Here is Grandma and Angel Eliza

Eliza and her Dad did a Trumpet duet for the talent show. It was so cute!

Then the bingo began. Grandma and Grandpa totally spoil us with the wonderful prizes they give. We all love it!

 All of the boys got matching flannel to be

like Grandpa.

Here we are with Grandma and Grandpa.

 The next morning was the Ward Christmas Eve breakfast a day early. Here is Jack with Santa. Russell and I have been cooking the Christmas Eve breakfast for 8 years thanks to his callings as executive secretary and counselor in the bishopbric.

 I snuggled up in front of the fire after church and took a little nap before our next party. It was awesome.

We went up to Tricia's house for our annual Christmas Eve party. Here are all of the kids in their jammies. We eat delicious soup, and appitizers, have egg nog milk shakes, play games and have a talent show. Every year is so much fun. And the kids are growing up on us. We missed Natalie who is on her mission.

Santa found us!!

 Grandma and Grandpa Jaussi gave the kids these cool pillows that we all played with for days. Moving the sequins back and forth was really quite soothing.

Eliza got a makeup kit, snow shoes, cloths, a fish, new shoes, electric brush and other things.

Aiden got a new jacket, a GPS watch, shoes, cloths snowboarding googles and other things.

Jack got a drone, heeleys, a pillow that keeps you cool as you sleep, games and other things.

We were all very happy with our Christmas morning.

We also had Megan, Bennet and Jayne stay with us for a few days and Jayne found a marker and put lipstick on. My mom and dad were here as well so we had a full fun house. We had a lot of get togethers with the Toponce's. We saw Star Wars and Jumunji. We went to Lowe's Extreme Airsports twice, Aiden and Eliza went snowboarding a few times but the snow was not great, Jack went snowshoeing with Russell and I again on bad snow. We stayed up late everynight and made the most of our two week vacation.

And this is how we rang in the New Year cuddled up on our bed watching episodes of the Office.
